ROSES 
This list of “Fifty Best," is the result of careful elimination and 
study during an experience of many years of rose-growing for quality 
plants. We have the utmost confidence in the sturdy quality of the 
plants and know they will meet the best expectations of the Rose-lover. 
The list is sufficiently extensive to cover the range of colors, types and 
various habits so as to provide Roses for all purposes. We cannot portray 
in type the sturdy, reliable qualities of the Roses offered herein and can 
only urge a trial order to convince the purchaser of the superior quality 
and worthiness of the list of “Fifty Best."

ORNAMENTAL VINES AND 
CLIMBERS 
For porch draperies or for covering walls, fences, stumps, or other 
unsightly objects, vines and creepers have a place all their own. They 
grow rapidly, are hardy, and require no care. Some vines like shade, 
while others are fond of the sun. They should be planted in a deep rich 
soil, and an occasional top-dressing of decayed manure will help them to 
make a strong growth. In the list below we offer those which we think 
will give the best satisfaction. 
AKEBIA quinata. A fine ornamental vine and one of the best 
climbers we have. Foliage dark green, nearly evergreen; flowers are 
rosy purple, produced in late spring. 
AMPELOPSIS 
Ampelopsis Lowii (New Japanese Ivy). A new variety with small 
cut leaves of a more delicate habit of growth than .4. Veitchii^ and colors 
more brilliantly in the fall, and supersedes the Boston Ivy when better 
known. 
A. quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper). A high, climbing vine, covered 
with deep green foliage which changes to fiery red in fall. A rapid grower; 
very handsome. 
A. quinquefolia Engelmannii. In some respects similar to the 
preceding, but the leaves are smaller and more numerous. An excellent 
vine for porch drapery. 
A. Veitchii. Japanese or Boston Ivy. A graceful rapid-growing vine 
with handsome lustrous green foliage, which assumes a yellow tint in fall. 
ARISTOLOCH1A Sipho (Dutchman's Pipe). A vigorous rapid- 
growing climber, bearing chocolate-colored flowers resembling a pipe in 
shape; leaves are large round, and deep green. 
CELASTRUS • Bittersweet 
Celastrus orbiculatus (Oriental Bittersweet). A tall, vigorous vine 
with bright green leaves and orange-yellow flowers. 
C. scandens. A high-climbing vine with bright green leaves. Pods 
are golden and crimson, persisting all winter. 
CLEMATIS 
Clematis coccinea (Scarlet Clematis). A handsome hardy climber, 
with broad sea-green leaves; flowers scarlet or purplish, produced in 
June. 
C. Flammula (Sweet Clematis). A vigorous climber, nearly covered 
with dark green leaves, persisting until early winter; flowers white and 
sweetly scented. A handsome vine which does well in a sunny location. 
C. Jackmanii. Large, velvety purple flowers borne in great profusion. 
C. paniculata (Japanese Clematis). A vigorous hardy climber con- 
sidered by many as one of the most useful of hardy vines; bears white 
flowers in late summer. 
C. Henryi. A free-flowering variety, bearing ivory-white flowers. 
C., Mme. Edouard Andre. Flowers purplish red, making a delightful 
contrast with the dark green foliage. 
C., Ramona. A vigorous vine, bearing an abundance of deep sky- 
blue flowers of large size. A very handsome climber and one of the best 
of its color. 
DOLICHOS japonicus ( Pneraria Thunbergiana; Kudzu Vine). A 
remarkable vine suitable for any purpose that a vine can be used for. 
The leaves are bright green arid the flowers are purple. A wonderful 
vine on account of its rapid growth.
